"Our work is great, our time is short, our Master urgent. We have need therefore to summon together all the powers of our souls and strive as in a matter of life and death, that we may arrive at the kingdom above. We must not only put forth diligence, but violence."-Thomas Watson
“It’s not the critic who counts, not the one who points out how the strong man stumbles of how the doer of the deeds might have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred with sweat and dust and blood; who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who live in the grey twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.” -Teddy Roosevelt
